Most of the 32" LED,s are about 30-31 inches wide,(several right at 30.25") and about 18-20 inches high. This is the tv frame dimension. These are all the sets I could find at Costco, Walmart, Sams, and Best Buy. I,m sure there are others I missed. There is about a 1.25" space on each side for overlap before you hit the glass cabinet. It seems a lot of the Winnies have the same 29.25" width after the old set is out. This would allow most of the 32,s to fit nicely and allow for a reasonable overlap before contacting the opening glass cabinet door. The project took me about 3 days and like many others have said thats due to a lot of trips back and forth to Lowes,s and costco for measurements and screws and bolts etc. I put a piece of plywood on the back of the tv and a piece on each side where the old set pulled out of bolted in to the existing metal. I then hung the set from above from 2 existing brackets with plumbers tape. This held the set in position while I used a joist hanger on its side to anchor the set to walls of the existing cabinet. Its got good vertical and side support. I found a light colored piece of fiberboard that I used to cover the hole on the bottom. First made a template from the cardboard box then traced the outline on the fiberboard. Would like to post pics but not sure how to do it. Thats another project.- John
